Concrete Repair & Replacement
Fix damaged concrete before small cracks become big problems.
When to Repair vs. When to Replace
Not every crack means you need to tear out your concrete. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need to add years of life to your driveway, patio, or walkway. Here's how we help you make the right call.
Small cracks under a quarter inch wide can usually be filled and sealed without major work. If your concrete is still level and the damage is mostly on the surface, repair is often your best bet. We use professional-grade sealants and patching compounds that stand up to Lancaster's weather, from hot summers to freezing winters.
Replacement makes sense when your concrete has sunk, shifted, or developed wide cracks that keep spreading. If you're seeing chunks breaking off or big sections settling unevenly, it's time for a fresh start. We'll remove the old concrete, fix any drainage or soil issues underneath, and pour a new surface that lasts for decades.
Signs You Need Professional Help
- •Cracks wider than a quarter inch that keep growing
- •Sections that have sunk or tilted, creating trip hazards
- •Water pooling on the surface instead of draining away
- •Pieces of concrete breaking off at the edges
- •Surface that's flaking or peeling in multiple spots
How We Fix Your Concrete
Every repair job starts with an honest assessment. We'll inspect your concrete, explain what's causing the damage, and walk you through your options. No pressure, just straight talk about what will work best for your situation and budget.
For repairs, we clean out the damaged areas, treat any rust on exposed rebar, and fill the cracks with materials that bond to your existing concrete. We match the color and texture as closely as possible so repairs blend in. The goal is to make your concrete functional and good-looking without breaking the bank.
When replacement is the better choice, we handle everything from start to finish. That means breaking up and hauling away old concrete, fixing the base underneath, and pouring new concrete that's properly reinforced. We take care to protect your landscaping and clean up thoroughly when we're done. You get a fresh surface that's built to last, installed by experienced concrete contractors in Lancaster.
What Makes Our Work Different
We've been fixing and replacing concrete in Lancaster for years. That experience matters when you're dealing with our local soil conditions and weather patterns. We know how deep to dig, how to prepare the base, and what mix design works best in this area. Your repair or replacement gets done right the first time.
Common Repairs We Handle
Crack sealing stops water from getting underneath your concrete and causing more damage. We clean out the crack, apply a flexible sealant that moves with temperature changes, and finish it smooth. This simple fix can prevent bigger problems down the road.
Surface restoration brings worn concrete back to life. If your driveway or patio looks rough but the structure is still solid, we can resurface it with a thin layer of new concrete. This gives you a fresh appearance without the cost of full replacement. It's perfect for concrete that's faded, stained, or slightly rough but otherwise in good shape.
Partial replacement lets us cut out just the damaged sections and pour new concrete that ties into what you're keeping. This works great when part of your concrete driveway has failed but the rest is fine. You save money by only replacing what needs it, and we make sure the seams are properly sealed and level.
Planning Your Project
Most repairs can be done in a day or two, and you can walk on them within 24 hours. Full replacements take longer, usually three to five days including removal and curing time. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront so you know what to expect.
The best time for concrete work in Lancaster is spring through fall when temperatures stay above freezing. We can work year-round if needed, but warmer weather gives better results. If you're noticing problems now, it's worth getting them checked out before winter makes them worse. Contact us for more information about our concrete patio installation and repair services.
